Problem with the new Projects + Manifest Destiny not working together

[Guest Elijah Mikaelson]

Hello @Alex

The issue we have found is if you have both projects, Manifest Destiny does not seem to work, you do not get the 5% reduction its meant to give.

A city with no reduction = 248,425,000
With Manifest Destiny = 236,003,750

Now with both new projects, you should be looking at paying 236,003,750 minus 150,000,000 equals 86,003,750, however, they are being told the next city will cost 93,503,750 so it seems they only get 142,500,000 off the cost of a city.

So it seems once you have the projects Manifest Destiny simply does not work, not sure if this is a bug however I hope it is as it would make Manifest Destiny totally pointless once you have one or both of the projects.

(We did buy the City planning first and tested it, and then the Advance City planning, in both cases none of them get the 5% Manifest Destiny is meant to give)

I also might add if Manifest Destiny is to work then City 12 with the first project would in fact not only be free but buying it would make you 800k.

On the other side if anyone reaches city 50 the projects impact the cost as with Manifest Destiny you would get 276,851,250 off, but the projects stop Manifest Destiny from working so you only save 150,000,000?

This doesn't appear to be a bug, instead things appear to be working correctly. A 5% reduction bonus is being applied, it just occurs after the project cost reduction.

City with no reduction = $248,425,000

City with project reduction = $98,425,000

City with project reduction, then 5% off = $93,503,750

$248,425,000 - $93,503,750 = $154,921,250 in savings > $150,000,000

Ok thank you, so the 5% comes off afterwards, still make it pointless now as open markets will give you more, but thank you for explaining it
